When I teacher irregular verbs, I try to show so many examples and rules (where applicable) to help students in understanding conjugation of verbs in English. These super helpful Irregular Verbs Anchor Charts I’ve gathered here will help you do the same.
2. Crafting Connections has a great anchor chart here showing how different verbs require specific conjugations, how some verbs change and others don’t and how some change their form completely.
3. Here is another great one which also includes auxiliary verbs, however could not find the link to the author of this anchor. Please email or comment here if you know.
4. Another great anchor chart with example irregular verbs for students to understand and take in. In some cases, memorising these irregular verbs will help but more exposure to the verbs overtime, students will just know.
I hope these anchor charts were beneficial to you when teaching irregular verbs.
In fact, I’ve often searched and found these so helpful while teaching.

I hope these anchor charts were beneficial to you when teaching irregular verbs.
I would also hang these in the classroom to help ESL students further be reminded of the verbs in the past tense.
You can also use them to practice talking about the past like “how was your weekend!” When they come into class as a warm up activity.
They can be a tricky concept to teach. Comment below if you find anchor charts valuable to teach ESL students.
